Kerala Slate Pavers

Kerala Slate Pavers

2.14

Slate is one of my favorite natural stones. It is dense, strong, and not very porous. Slates come in many colors including black, grey green--my preference is grey for exterior. This specific brand, Kerala, are durable for outdoor use. with a 1 1/4" nominal thickness. I would not use slate in a very exposed, sunny location as it gets very hot, but slate is lovely in a shady or partially shady garden setting. These pavers have sawn edges, and a natural split face which means it has a natural textured look and more slip-resistant. It should be installed on either a sharp gravel or sand base.
